The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben can be seen also.

A black and white long exposure image of The Millennium Bridge. The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London. It is located between Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. It is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction began in 1998 and it initially opened in June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians felt unexpected swaying motion. The bridge was closed later on opening day and, after two days of limited access, it was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the motion. It reopened in 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near the Globe theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.

Soft colours and a very long exposure to make the water flat and calm make this an interesting shot of London Docklands. Photographed from a bridge in The Blackwall Basin Canary Wharf and the other skyscrapers that make up the London Docklands Financial District make an excellent backdrop to the water.

The tallest building in London, Canary Wharf, can be seen in this photograph together with the other skyscrapers that make up the London Dockland Financial District. A long exposure was used to flatten the water.

This shot was taken from the left side of Blackwall Basin and it shows the size of the old dock area with the financial district of The Docklands in the background. The long exposure flattens the water.

Another shot taken from the left side of Blackwall Basin and it shows the size of the old dock area with the financial district of The Docklands in the background. The long exposure flattens the water. A monochrome image is really effective here.

Tone mapping and a very long exposure to make the water flat and calm make this an interesting shot of London Docklands. Technically speaking 'Tone Mapping' is the process of converting the tonal values of an image from a high range to a lower one. In essence it helps alter the colours, contrast and feel of a photograph. This was taken from a bridge in The Blackwall Basin Canary Wharf and the other skyscrapers that make up the London Docklands Financial District make an excellent backdrop to the water.

This statue of a Ballerina is located opposite the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden London. The image has been converted to black and white with the red London Phone Boxes remaining as a spot colour. Hope you agree the monochrome with a spot colour works well.
